Melbourne City's generous donation for fan fighting cancer

Paula Bedford is a devoted Melbourne City fan and the A-League club have shown the support goes both ways after pledging $5,000 to Paula's fight against cancer.

The mother of two was diagnosed with Duodenal cancer four years ago and after going close to beating it, was given the horrible news that the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes.

Told it can't be cured, doctors have suggested Paula go to Japan for specialised cell-based immune therapy - something that won't come cheaply and has seen her daughter open a Go Fund Me page.
